MN SF2885

Amends Minnesota Statutes section 518A.39 to modify presumptions triggering child support order modifications, establishing that a substantial change in circumstances is presumed when child support guidelines application results in a calculated order at least 20 percent and at least $75 per month higher or lower than the current order (or 20 percent if current order is less than $75).

Adds presumptive modification triggers for when medical support provisions are unenforceable, health coverage is unavailable to the child, support obligation is stated as a percentage rather than a dollar amount, gross income decreases by at least 20 percent through no fault of the party, or a foreign country deviation factor no longer applies.

Specifies that a child support order is not presumptively modifiable solely because a parent becomes responsible for support of an additional non-joint child born after the existing order.

Establishes rules for modifications when child support was established under previously existing guidelines with parenting expense adjustments or presumed equal parenting time, requiring courts to apply specific calculation methods using 0.88 and 0.075 multipliers to maintain consistency.

Codifies that an enactment, amendment, or repeal of law constitutes a substantial change in circumstances for modification purposes only when it meets the standards for modification established in this section.
